FALCON represents the best of what has made the Morris M36 the most popular boat built by Morris Yachts - a blend of classic style, modern design and boatbuilding, heirloom quality craftsmanship to produce a boat that is equal parts elegance, simplicity and performance. Built with the deeper, performance 6'-6" draft keel and rudder and equipped with new North 3Di sails, FALCON is a pleasure to sail and is competitive on the racecourse.
FALCON was built by an experienced yachtsman who both enjoyed day sailing and racing competitively in Long Island Sound. Always stored inside a heated building and meticulously maintained, she was purchased by her current owner who performed a major refit this year, and just launched her in early June.

Cockpit
The cockpit on the M36 is the focal point of the boat and is set up to comfortably sail with family and friends with settees port and starboard. All control lines have been led aft under decks to two electric, self-tailing winches on either side of the helm in easy reach from the wheel. This allows the boat to be simple singlehanded without leaving the helm while still allowing guests to participate if desired. Two additional electric winches outboard of the cockpit coaming provide push button trimming of asymmetrical sails.
